Actor Alexei Mironov: biography, personal life

Alexey Ivanovich Mironov in 1985 was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR. Films with Mironov liked the audience both in Soviet times and in our days. The actor has successfully coped with any work, but fans of his talent are accustomed to seeing their idol in the guise of a kindly simple man who, with his actions, even if they are not quite good, has to himself. The filmography of the artist is a very large list, otherwise it can not be, because this talented person until the last days of his life was filmed in the cinema.

Childhood

Alexey Ivanovich was born in a small village of Slobodka, Smolensk region in 1924, this joyful event in the family of Mironovs occurred on January 3. Then the parents of a small Alyosha moved to Moscow and settled between the Yaroslavl market and Sokolniki on Malomoskovskaya Street. Since childhood, the boy has become fired by the desire to perform in front of the audience on stage, the impetus for this was the performance of a simple clown, who mixed visitors to the menagerie in the market.

Being a schoolboy, Alexei together with his classmate came up with and put the clownery, which was approved by the audience. Encouraged by such success, the guy actively acted on the stage of the school theater, then the actor's talent developed in the theater studio in the House of Pioneers. When they staged the play "Love Yarovaya," Alexei Mironov played in him the Tsar of Grozny himself.

Youth

Alyosha's youth was marred by war: at the time when the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, the boy was not yet 17 years old, for this reason, he was not taken to the front. Alexei Mironov did not accept the fact that he had to sit in the rear at a time when others were fighting on the front line. To be enlisted in the ranks of the Soviet Army, the future actor attributed himself 2 years and immediately fell into the very heat of battle. For four years, Mironov fought for his country, he reached Berlin himself, having risen to an officer's rank.

After the end of the war, Aleksei Ivanovich in Vienna taught military science in the School of NCOs. When it came to the end of 1946, Mironov was homesick for Moscow and, resigning from the Red Army, returned to the capital. Upon arrival in his hometown, the retired officer recalled the childhood dreams of an acting career and carried the documents to GITIS. With the arrival of problems was not, Alexei became a student and even received an increased scholarship.

Alexei Mironov - actor of the theater

It was not easy for Alexei to act as an actor, but he persevered. Studying in the third year, he already played on the stage of the Revolution Theater. A little later seriously engaged in directing and soon began to put his plays. Particularly successful was his production "Resurrection", but it never reached a large audience, Mironov did not have a penetrating vein, he could not perseveringly promote his work. After many years of work in the theater, Alexei Ivanovich was completely disappointed in theatrical life, he was much more attracted to the world of cinema, to which he devoted his whole life.

Movies with Mironov

To shoot in the cinema Alexei liked much more than playing on the stage. The first significant role in his life was the role of the drunkard Gusya in the painting "A simple story." With this work, the actor coped perfectly, his partner in the film was Nonna Mordyukova. After the release of the picture on the screens, Alexei Mironov did not feel a lack of proposals to withdraw. He was noticed and appreciated the actor's talent. Indeed, for the role of Gusya the artist was almost not makeup and was able to show the audience a funny simple little man in a cap who was constantly looking for where to drink. Alexei confessed that, working on this image, he took a lot from Chaplin.

After such a successful start, Mironov was busy every year on the set. The actor was an ideal character, with his presence he brought a calm and peaceful atmosphere to the team, it was pleasant to work with him. Each role of Alexei Ivanovich was significant, although it was not considered the main one. Take, for example, the film "The meeting place can not be changed." Here the actor played a good-natured driver Kopytin. It would seem that the role is not noticeable, but the audience was very pleased with the calm and responsible driver, only thanks to his concerted actions, Zheglov and Sharapov managed to catch up with bandits from the gang "Black Cat" in a decrepit car.

Filmography Mironov is very large, we will not list all the films now. But still I would like to note the following pictures with the participation of this talented actor: "Dog Heart", "Business Trip", "Townspeople", "Small Devil", "Hippocratic Oath". "Light of the Moon" and "Wedding" - this is the last picture in which Alexei Mironov was occupied, she came out after the death of the actor.

Personal life

The first experience of family life for Mironov was unsuccessful. He married in 1948 on the actress of the same theater, in which he worked himself. After six years together, Alex was transferred to the Murmansk theater, but his wife did not want to go with him. Soon she found another man and divorced her husband.

The second time the actor married a woman who did not belong to the theater in any way. Galina Anisimovna had several higher educations and was well versed in politics. The couple lived together for more than forty years. From the theater, the actor was given an apartment, the family lived quietly and peacefully. The wife gave her husband a son and daughter. Son Vladimir was educated in MIIT, and daughter Elena graduated from art school. Galina and Alexei have three grandchildren growing up.

Unfortunately, now the famous actor is not with us. In 1999, in November Mironov Alexey Ivanovich died. Very shortly before this sad date, the artist congratulated with the songs and dances of police officers on their professional holiday. Until the last moment Mironov led an active lifestyle, appreciating every day lived. The Moscow police took over the bulk of the organization of the funeral of "the old man Kopytin," a talented actor was conducted on the last road with all the honors.
